"Keyboards" used to mean a traditional piano, and perhaps the theatre organ. In the 1960s the category grew to include the electric piano, combo organ, and even the Mellotron. With the 1970s came the synthesizer, followed by MIDI in the 1980s, and the rise of the workstation. Today, in the 21st century, the keyboard category includes a staggering assortment of electronic music-making devices-some with keyboards, some without. And the role of the keyboard player has expanded to include Sound-designer, Programmer, Beat Maker, etc. Rarely in the spotlight, the keyboard player may nonetheless be an essential element of the music. Just try and whistle "Light my Fire" without the organ lick!
